No. 1051: Second Opinion

{Jon dials the phone}
[SFX]: dial dial dial
Jon: Hello, Liz's office? Can you look at my cat?
Jon: I'd like to bring him in for a checkup.
Garfield: But I just had one.
Jon: You'd better flush out his worms.
Jon: Tighten his bowels.
Jon: Remove his claws.
Jon: Oh yes, and have him neutered.
{Garfield is outside on the street trying to thumb a lift, with a sign saying "Abu Dhabi"}
Jon: Garfield?
